Wisconsin Rapids Rafters third baseman Erik Payne entered Monday's Northwoods League matchup with Battle Creek on a torrid hot streak, hitting safely in all six games.

Payne was hitting .429 (9 for 21) before Monday's game and he provided some drama Monday, smacking a solo homer with two outs in the top of the ninth inning to tie the game, but the Rafters fell 5-4 in 11 innings.
